Não é a minha praia: One-minute Portuguese Lesson [Video]

Não é a minha praia: One-minute Portuguese Lesson [Video]

posted on October 18, 2019

Portuguese lesson - Brazilian Portuguese colloquial expression - Não é a minha praia
Learn what it means when your Brazilian friend says:
Não é a minha praia.

This is a great Brazilian Portuguese colloquial expression:

Não é a minha praia.

Literally: It’s not my beach.

What it means:

  • It’s not my cup of tea.
  • It isn’t my thing.
  • It’s not what I like or am interested in.

Example:

Futebol não é a minha praia.

= Soccer isn’t my cup of tea.
